Cracker Candy is so deliciously simple, you probably have the ingredients already on hand for one version or the other. And you know you want some.
How to make Chocolate-Dipped Cracker Candy:
All you need for basic chocolate-dipped cracker candy is dipping chocolate and crackers. Any kind of standard crackers will do–Saltines, Ritz, Club, etc.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler then drop crackers in one at a time. Using utensils, spoon out the crackers and lay flat on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill. You’re done!
If you have a few more ingredients on hand, you can make Toffee Cracker Candy!
How to make Toffee Cracker Candy:
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
crackers
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Line a 9 x 13-inch pan with aluminum foil. Spread crackers evenly on the bottom of the pan. (Any kind of standard crackers will do.) Heat butter and brown sugar in a pot. Bring to a boil for three minutes.
Ever see that old movie, The Blob? That’s what boiling butter and brown sugar looks like. Scary. If it takes over your house, I apologize.
Spread butter and brown sugar mixture over the candy. Sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. I like to pound nuts inside a plastic bag with a hammer. Kids like this, too. Makes really finely chopped nuts and it’s fun. Bake at 350-degrees for 5 minutes.
“I dream of cracker candy.”
Remove pan from oven. Sprinkle 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate morsels on top. Put pan back in still-warm oven (turned off) for about 15 minutes to let chocolate melt. Remove pan and spread melted chocolate. Chill until firm. Turn contents of pan onto a covered surface and peel off foil.
Break candy into pieces. Hide half for yourself then call the children.
